MUI Fatwa No. 83, which prohibits Israeli goods, might have a substantial impact on Indonesia's Islamic economy, influencing consumption, trade, investment decisions, and halal certification. If adhered to, demand for Israeli goods may fall, while the boycott effort may have an impact on investment decisions and worldwide trade. This can also help Muslims achieve greater unity and ethical consciousness. The author employs literature review methodologies to examine literature relevant to the research issue. The methodology includes a study of Islamic economics based on both bibliographic and secondary data. To get new ideas and information, the method used is analysis approaches such as interpretation, coherence, and heuristics. MUI Fatwa No.83 of 2023 requires legal assistance for the Palestinian fight against Israeli aggression, including the distribution of zakat, infaq, and alms. The fatwa's economic impact is determined by Muslim involvement and business reaction, which may have an impact on halal certification and Sharia banking. MUI Decree Number 83 of 2023 encourages a boycott of Israeli goods, which benefits the Muslim economy while cutting demand

The rapid adoption of QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) as a standardized digital payment system has transformed transactional behaviors in Indonesia, particularly among Generation Z and SMEs. This study explores the effectiveness of QRIS in driving digital transactions and its role in advancing the digital economy in Bandar Lampung, with a dual focus on Generation Z consumers and SMEs. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews with 13 Generation Z QRIS users and 3 SMEs (Jenggala, Ternatea, and Elora Studio). Findings indicate that QRIS adoption among Generation Z is driven by ease of use, speed, and practicality, though technical barriers like unstable internet connectivity and QR code scanning issues persist. For SMEs, QRIS enhances operational efficiency by reducing cash dependency (e.g., 70% of Jenggala’s transactions shifted to QRIS), automates financial management (Elora Studio), and improves customer satisfaction through faster transactions. However, challenges such as digital fraud (e.g., fake payment proofs at Jenggala) and infrastructure gaps underscore the need for systemic improvements. The study concludes that QRIS is pivotal in accelerating financial inclusion and digital economic growth, particularly when aligned with SME operational strategies and Generation Z’s tech-centric lifestyles. Recommendations include strengthening digital infrastructure, enhancing transaction security protocols, and fostering inclusive adoption across diverse business models.

Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest levels of biodiversity in the world and possesses vast tropical forest areas that play a crucial role in maintaining the stability of global ecosystems. However, in recent decades, Indonesia’s forests have faced significant pressures due to deforestation and environmental degradation, which have broad impacts on ecological functions, climate balance, and the socio-economic lives of communities. This study aims to examine the role of biodiversity and ecological adaptation mechanisms in maintaining the stability of Indonesia’s forest ecosystems through a literature review approach. The findings show that deforestation directly affects biodiversity decline, habitat fragmentation, disruption of hydrological systems, increased erosion, and carbon emissions. Additionally, illegal activities such as logging and mining exacerbate environmental degradation. Biodiversity is proven to be an important factor in enhancing ecosystem resilience to disturbances, including climate change. Adaptation mechanisms such as the presence of bioindicator species, the formation of ecological corridors, and community participation in conservation can strengthen ecological resilience. Rehabilitation of degraded areas and the implementation of sustainable governance policies are necessary to restore the ecological functions of forests. This study emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach in conservation strategies, supported by strong scientific, social, and institutional frameworks to ensure the sustainability of Indonesia’s forest ecosystems in the future.

Entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in driving economic growth, with individual entrepreneurial intentions serving as a key supporting factor. Despite this, student involvement in entrepreneurial endeavors remains relatively low. This research seeks to examine how emotional intelligence and self-leadership influence entrepreneurial intentions among students at the University of Lampung. Employing a quantitative method with a causal approach, the study gathered primary data through questionnaires distributed to 183 sixth-semester students across various faculties. The research instruments underwent validity, reliability, and normality testing, and the data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings confirmed the proposed hypotheses. Based on these results, the study recommends that higher education institutions, particularly the University of Lampung, implement character development initiatives and foster a positive student mindset. It also suggests creating more opportunities for reflection and open dialogue, incorporating problem-based learning models, and providing training in persuasive communication and soft skills. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of enhancing entrepreneurship curricula with practical experiences such as business incubators and simulations, while also improving student access to entrepreneurial support systems, including funding, mentoring, and market networks. These measures aim to boost student confidence in launching businesses and to strengthen the campus entrepreneurial ecosystem.

This study aims to analyze consumer behavior in purchasing decision-making at traditional markets in Surakarta City. The focus of this research is to identify the factors that influence consumer purchasing decisions, such as price, product quality, location, service, and shopping habits. The method used is a quantitative approach with a survey method. Data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires to 100 respondents who are active consumers at several traditional markets in Surakarta, such as Pasar Gede, Pasar Klewer, and Pasar Legi. The data analysis technique used is multiple linear regression to examine the influence of independent variables on the dependent variable. The results show that price, product quality, and service have a significant influence on purchasing decisions, while location and shopping habits do not show a significant influence. These findings indicate that consumers in traditional markets in Surakarta tend to prioritize economic value and service interaction in their purchasing decisions. This research is expected to provide input for traditional market managers in improving competitiveness amidst the growth of modern markets.

Exploitation of mineral resources through mining activities in Indonesia provides significant economic benefits, but also causes various negative impacts on the environment and socio-economic life of local communities. This study aims to review the impacts of various types of mining activities such as sand, coal, and gold. Common environmental damages include deforestation, soil erosion, water, soil, and air pollution, and decreased biodiversity. Socio-economically, mining increases social conflict, health problems, and changes in people's livelihoods. Effective management efforts include law enforcement against illegal activities, implementation of reclamation and rehabilitation, application of impact mitigation technology, and active involvement of local communities in environmental management. Consistent implementation of policies and mitigation measures is key to achieving a balance between economic benefits and environmental sustainability.

Employee performance in service companies in Indonesia is often hampered by less than optimal organisational culture and work motivation, which impacts on the productivity and competitiveness of the company. This study aims to explore the influence of organisational culture and work motivation on employee performance in service companies in Jakarta. The method used is a quantitative survey with a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach using AMOS, involving 120 respondents selected by purposive sampling. The results of the analysis show that organisational culture and work motivation simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on employee performance, with work motivation having a more dominant influence. This finding strengthens human resource management theory regarding the importance of integrating organisational culture and motivation in improving performance. The practical implication of this study is the need to develop a holistic management strategy to strengthen organisational culture and increase work motivation to encourage optimal employee performance in the service sector. This research also opens up opportunities for further studies with a mixed methods approach and mediating variables to enrich the understanding of human resource dynamics in Indonesia.

The lack of formal job access and limited employment sectors in rural areas have increased unemployment and poverty rates. Expanding rural entrepreneurship is a potential solution to create job opportunities and increase rural communities' income. Therefore, a comprehensive strategy needs to be developed to strengthen social capital and support the sustainability of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes). This research examines efforts to build entrepreneurship in the village environment through innovations implemented in BUMDes. It explores innovative strategies used by BUMDes to enhance the village's economic potential, focusing on developing local businesses, empowering the community, and improving access to resources. The research methods used include surveys, interviews, and quantitative data analysis. The results show that BUMDes and their partners have a good relationship, and BUMDes managers regularly communicate with their partners. However, BUMDes managers must also establish good communication with community members and local leaders. If BUMDes managers can build strong relationships with village residents, they will find it easier to obtain support, information, and helpful advice for managing BUMDes. BUMDes managers are categorized as having a high level of support for those in the community who have difficulty accessing business capital loans. Furthermore, the results of the path analysis reveal that there is no statistically significant relationship between the variables of experience (X1), motivation (X1), ICT media role (X3), and social capital capacity (Y1). This means that in the context of this study, these three independent variables do not significantly impact social capital capacity (Y1). These findings can guide the government, community, and relevant stakeholders in supporting efforts to build rural entrepreneurship through BUMDes innovations.
